SCRAPER AND REGULATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 29, 1907.

i Application filed October 16. 1906. Serial No. 339.219.

To all whom it may concern/r Be it known that we, JOSE'PLLH. YOUNG and GEORGE B. YOUNG, citizens of th United States, and residents of El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State of Texas, have made an Improvement in Scrapers and Regulators, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionis an improved scraper and regulator for use in making bricks of icecream of diHerent kinds or layers of cream in a suitable mold; and the invention consists in the novel construction of the implement, as will be hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the device as in use. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinalsection of the implement, and Figs. 3, 4, and 5 illustrate different bricks made by the aid of the imple-ment.

The implement A consists of a suitable plate having an opening A', in which-the linger may be inserted in handling the device and by which the device may be hung up when not in use. The implement isprovided with a tongue or tongues projecting from its edges, and these tongues when a number are employed are preferably made of different lengths and of different shapes, so that the different kinds of bricks of cream illustrated in Figs. 3 to 5, as well as numerous other styles of bricks, may be manufactured by the use of the implement, and manifestly the particular shape and size of the tongues may e varied without departing from some of the broad principles of the invention.- l

As shown, .the plate is provided with tongues 1, 2, 3, and 4, the tongues 1, 2, and 3 being rectangular and of different lengths and the tongue 4 being triangular, having its long or sloping side 5 ada ted to form the I lower section of the brick s own in Fi 5, and which is divided diagonally, as wil be seen from the said figure.

The tongues 1, 2, yand 3 are of different lengths, the tongue 3 being twice the length' of the tongue 1 and the tongue 2 being of a length less than the tongue 3 and greater than the tongue 1 and preferably equal to about one-half of the depth of the mold B. (Shown for the purposes of illustration in Fig. 1.) The tongue 4 is of a length on' its edge 6 equal to the depth of the mold, so that it may be placed in the mold with the shoulders at the base of thetongue resting upon the edges of the mold and with the point of the tongue sliding along the bottom of the mold to prol A duce the form shown in Fig. 5 in the use of the invention.

le find it advisable to provide the plate at the bases of the Several tongues with means for limiting the extent to which the respective tongues may be projected into a mold, and this is preferably accomplished by providing at the bases of the tongues 1, 2, 3,

and 4 shoulders to rest upon the edges of a balaride-of"theniold filled with another kind of creamsay chocolate-as illustrated in Fig. 3, and the long or diagonal ed e 5 of the tongue 4 be employed to scrape tclrie top perfectly level to receive the top of the mold. Then when the cream is taken from the mold the several layers will be perfectly uniform. In using the tongue 4 cream may be applied to about half fill the mold and the point 4 be inserted and the implement moved back and forth until the creamis forced to one side of the brick-mold in triangular form, as shown at the left in Fig. 5, and more cream be a plied of a different kind, as shown at the rig t in Fig. 5, and the top of the cream be leveled Off by the edge 5.

The tongue 2 may be used in making the brick shown in Fig. 4, in which two layers of equal thickness are provided.

The construction is simple, can be cheaply manufactured, and vwill efliciently serve the purpose for which it is designed.

This combination ice-cream-brick scraper and regulator may be made of aluminium or other suitable material.

An ice-cream scraper and regulator comprising a plate having at its edges a projecting rectangular tongue or tongues, and a tri- IOO angular tongue, as and for the purpose set forth.
